FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AT A LOCAL DEALER IN JAN , HAVE HAD VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND NOW IN SHOP DUE TO GASOLINE SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING TANK. ALL 3 TIMES FILLED THE TANK GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR A GAS TANK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ,I PURCHASED OVER $3000 OF WARRANTIES AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND TOP TO BOTTOM AND NOW I AM INFORMED THE TANK IS NOT COVERED . THE TANKS WILL COST ME $800.00 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT WAS A DEFAULT . IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR A TRADE. I WAS TOLD I COULD IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TANK , I COULD CONSIDER NEVER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, YEAH RIGHT! I HAVE NOT HAD TO MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL FEB 22,2011. I REALLY THINK I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DIRTY DEAL. *TR

GAS IS SPEWED BACK OUT OF THE GAS TANK AT THE END OF FILLING IT UP, SOAKING SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ANYONE STANDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT. DANGEROUS! OCCURS EVERYTIME GAS TANK IS FILLED UP COMPLETELY FULL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE- CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX. *LN

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND POOLING ON THE GROUND. THIS RELEASES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF FUEL VAPORS AND PRESENTS A LARGE GASOLINE FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS WHEN FILLING TANK. I HAVE TRIED STOPPING THE PUMP BEFORE IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT GAS STILL POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR SHOOTS BACK AT ME. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. *LN

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL EVERYTIME. ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME FLYING BACK OUT. THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ON TO ME, THE FUEL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, FUEL STILL COMES SPLASHING/SPEWING BACK OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ASPEN OWNERS TO GET THE FUEL PROBLEM RESOLVED???? SAFETY FIRST! *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GARAGE, IMPACTED MY STEEL WORKBENCH/TOOL CONTAINER, WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL AND THE FRONT END IMPACTED THE GROUND SEVEN FEET BELOW THE GARAGE DROPOFF AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REMOVED THE KEY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS WITNESSED THE EVENT AS THE VEHICLE DROVE OUT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT FT BELVOIR AMC. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN THE AC COMPRESSOR, FLICKERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL LIGHT, LOSS OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN 'R' IT WOULD FALL OUT OF GEAR. ALL WERE REPORTED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AT CHRYSLER DEALERS IN CA, MS AND VA. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER LATE NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED A LETTER BACK ON 17 DECEMBER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLAIMS RESOLUTION GROUP STATING THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER HAD VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2007 THAT HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND THE ACCELERATORS WERE MADE BY THE SAME SUPPLIER THAT MADE THE TOYOTA ONES. HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/06/04/CHRYSLER-IS-RECALLING-CALIBER-AND-COMPASS-FOR-ACCELERATOR-PEDAL-PROBLEM/ I AM PREPARED TO DISCUSS FURTHER ANY QUESTIONS CHRYSLER LEADERSHIP MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION AND WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WHEN THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL AND AXEL TO COME OFF, WENT LEFT INSTANTLY AND INTO A 18 INCH DITCH, AND BROKE HER HAND. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE VERY NEXT DAY, THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND SENT A MAN OUT TO TAKE PICTURES, HE DOWN PLAYED THE WHOLE THING LIKE THIS WAS NORMAL. LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SAYING IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER. I HAVE TAKEN THE BROKEN PART TO AT LEAST 10 PLACES THAT KNOWS ABOUT FRONT ENDS ALSO METAL AND WELDING SHOPS BODY SHOPS. WITHIN 10 SECONDS THEY ALL SAID IT IS A DEFECT. YOU CAN SEE VERY PLAINLY WHERE IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR AWHILE, OLD AND RUSTED, AND THEN THE NEW BREAK. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED , JUST BROKE OFF. CHRYSLER WILL NOT E-MAIL ME OR TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE. MY SUV WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID ME BACK. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND PICTURES. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE A PERSON OR FAMILY GOT KILLED. IF THIS HAD BROKE OFF AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED MY FAMILY WOULD OF GOT KILLED, SHE JUST PULLED ON TO A COUNTY ROAD AND ABOUT A 1000 FT. IT SNAPPED OFF. NO LAWYERS WILL TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN JUST A BROKEN HAND. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO. OR WANT PICTURES LET ME KNOW. EVEN AFTER I HAVE MY MONEY I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY AND WHEN I SEE ASPENS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE A CHANCE I WILL STOP AND SHOW THEM THE PART AND WARN THEM THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO GET IT CHECKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
